More Snow?? And SAL Update

We got hit with another snowstorm yesterday evening and through most of today. Another 8 inches fell at home giving me these photos this morning:

up to the edge of my door, and I drive a Beetle, so not too low to the ground

Our house and yard well covered. There are 3 steps up to that porch, not that you could tell now

the driveway trying to get out, those are my tracks from last night that are well filled in now

The skiers are pretty excited with all this snow, and I don't mind it. It was not a great ride into work this morning, but we need snow. The local lake was down several feet over the extremely hot summer and this should help it get back to where it needs to be.

Plus, it's so pretty when it first snows!! I wish I could have taken time to get my good camera out, these are all with my cell phone.

On to my Under-the-Sea restart:

I'm not too far along yet, but hopefully I'll be able to make some progress over the next few days. I was thinking that technically I could continue on with this next week since now it's started, it's a WIP.. right? ;) I have to stitch that shark, it's so cool!!

I hope you're all having good weeks and Happy Stitching!

Wow! All that snow. It's been years since we had a decent amount in my part of England. I think I have a bit of snow envy! You've made a great restart on Under the Sea Sal. Love the fabric you have chosen. Have a great weekend.

I love the snow if I don't plan to get out :) Perfect excuse for some stitching time, methinks!!Love the fabric you're using for the Under the sea SAL. I'm so jealous, I really want to join this but have too much planned already. Great work on the octopus too. Well, now that you've teased us with the shark, you really have to keep stitching on that one so that we can admire your work!! ;)

Oh I love the snow. We've only had one nice snow this year. So beautiful in your pics. The Under the Sea SAL looks great. Love the fabric color. I say keep at it. Then you'll be all caught up. The shark was a fun stitch.

So jealous! We've been teased with snow, but nothing yet. Now it's been in the 60-70's but they SAY maybe in March. We'll see about that!I've yet to join the SAL, but look forward to seeing your progress.

Time to update my WIPs! I hope everyone has had a good weekend and had as much stitching time as they wished. We've had a busy time as DD turns 4 tomorrow. She seemed to have a blast this weekend, so that's what matters. I did get a little stitching done, although having a cold and a major migraine episode this week did slow me down a little.

There's a fair bit of confetti in the leaves of this one and I'd like to try and get the top done first, so I'm working more there first. I haven't done much with Fishing lately, but I hope to get that out this week. With luck I'll get them both finished up in a couple weeks. I haven't been able to do any of the No X November stitching that Theme-tas-stitch has set as the theme, but I have this one in mind for a friend.

She's a little Xmas obsessed, so I think she'll get a laugh out of this one. It's a free chart by Kincavel Krosses and you can find it here.

Okay, it's a silly alliteration, but it's late and all I could come up with. :)

I'm working away at Covered Bridge still. Did I mention I think trying to finish this one first is the best idea because Fishing has no beads or fiddly bits and I think it would be easier to stitch in the car, but beads and being a passenger probably don't work well together.

I have 2 more days of progress, Monday:

and Tuesday:

It's looking so good! I'm really happy with it, even with all the confetti. :) Fingers crossed I can get more done tonight and see where it's at before Monday. With luck there will be a finish!

I've been so excited lately when Friday rolls around because that means it's time for the next installment of the Lakeside Needlecraft SAL! There are lots of other reasons for Fridays to be exciting too though, I get almost every other Friday off, although it does mean I work that Saturday. Plus there's usually hockey every Friday night!

I hope you've all been having good weekends! My parents visited this past week, so I had slightly less stitching time, but I did manage to get a little more done on Covered Bridge:

There's lots to do yet, but it's getting there!

And then there was a little time to stitch on Friday after the Halloween party and I started on the next installment of the Lakeside Needlecraft SAL:

These were mostly new stitches to me and there were all fairly straightforward. I managed a little more stitching last night after Saturday hockey, which was a new group of people and fairly fast, and I only ended up with a few bruises. :)
